Chapter 389: Chapter 252 "Correlation Rate" Can Be Used Like This? - 2
"..."
The two sitting nearby seemed to be paying attention to the conversation as well. Hearing Zhao Yi announce himself as a biologist, they widened their eyes in surprise, unsure of how to react.
Kaysa was the same.
No matter how she considered it, she never thought he would give that as an answer. frёewebηovel.cѳm
He hasn’t studied physics?
He’s not very interested in mathematics?
He’s a biologist?
"You’re joking, aren’t you?" Kaysa took a deep breath, "I’m sorry, but I can’t grasp the humor in your words."
"That’s not a joke."
From a distance, Chen Ming walked over, having heard the conversation between Zhao Yi and Kaysa, "Zhao Yi does indeed work at a biological research institute, and he has already made progress in his research."
He said to Zhao Yi, "I couldn’t stand that kind of gathering, so I came out. I didn’t expect you to also be at the bar. I thought you went back to your room."
Only after saying this did Chen Ming notice Kaysa. He introduced himself, "My name is Chen Ming, hello, Miss Randall."
"Hello."
Still in shock and doubt about Zhao Yi being a biologist, she continued to fix her gaze on him. Taking a deep breath, she lifted her glass of wine and spoke, "No matter what, I still think you’re joking."
"The test time is about to start. Maybe I should share this news with you. Our team has allowed me to participate in the work again," Kaysa declared, "But this time, our team won’t lose to you guys."
"Are we still in competition?" Zhao Yi was quite puzzled.
Kaysa responded seriously, "Any team that can get the experimental data are in competition."
"Okay."
Zhao Yi was still nonchalant, "Good luck!"
Seeing Zhao Yi’s indifferent expression, Kaysa felt an anger she couldn’t let out. She wanted to compete with Zhao Yi, at least vent a little verbally.
However, he didn’t seem to care at all.
She could only grumble angrily and take a large gulp of her drink before standing up and walking away.
Chen Ming, watching Kaysa’s retreating figure, grinned at Zhao Yi, "I can tell that girl is really interested in you, why don’t you consider her?"
Zhao Yi shook his head, "I’ve tried, she’s not my type."
"Oh."
Now it was Chen Ming’s turn to be surprised.
He tried?
How did he try?
Could it be that Kaysa’s harshness toward Zhao Yi was because they had tried something together?
What a juicy piece of gossip!
Chen Ming gave Zhao Yi a thumbs up, remarking, "Ah, youth is truly wonderful!"
...
For the following two weeks, Zhao Yi lived a very routine life. In the mornings he would study, in the afternoons he would attend lectures and reports at the venue, and in the evening he would relax—either getting some exercise and earning Sports Coins, or playing cards with his team in their room.
This life was fulfilling and relaxed.
It seemed he truly was back to his university life, learning a lot of new knowledge every day whilst feeling extremely leisurely and relaxed.
However, through this relaxed process, many who knew Zhao Yi also discovered that he truly was a novice in physics. His understanding of quantum physics was very limited, and in the face of certain sophisticated lectures and reports, he simply couldn’t understand. He even asked some simple questions.
Zhao Yi didn’t care about others’ opinions. In fact, he hoped to shed the label of ’physics genius’ because he indeed was not one; his understanding of high-level physics was very limited.
"So, Zhao Yi’s ability to find the anomaly and point out the problem in the California Institute of Technology’s academic report relies mostly on his mathematical ability."
"True. He’s not even 20, yet he’s achieved in math what many lifetime mathematical geniuses have not. How could he have time to study physics?"
"I heard he’s still in university. It’s normal for him to not have a thorough understanding of physics since he hasn’t systematically studied it."
"No one can research physics by themselves. He couldn’t possibly have any real experience."
Though the ’physics genius’ label was torn down, no one dared underestimate Zhao Yi. After all, he had conducted deep research in number theory and certainly knew much about complex mathematics. Physics and mathematics were intertwined, so in the upcoming experimental tests, the role of a top mathematician would still be very evident.
Of course.
When it came to specialized physics problems, no one expected Zhao Yi to contribute much.
Soon.
The testing experiment was upon them.
Evans, the head of the LHCB international cooperation group, summarized all submitted reports from each team in a conference. After a series of speeches and summaries, the principle of the experiment was settled.
Half of the world’s top physicists all gathered in the conference room for the research.
As the representative of the domestic team, Zhao Yi also attended the conference. He sat quietly in the back row, listening to the points discussed during the meeting. Much of the content was beyond his understanding, but he still tried his best to listen and absorb knowledge.
Then, he fell asleep.
[Extra sleep, Study Coin +2!]
Zhao Yi was just starting to wake up when he heard the system notification in his ear. Chen Ming at his side gave him a thumbs up.
A few people nearby looked over.
Zhao Yi felt slightly embarrassed. He had fallen asleep during such an important meeting.
"I’ve never seen anyone fall asleep in this kind of meeting before. You’re not treating this meeting as a class, are you?" Chen Ming joked.
